Ohio’s Cody Raymond brings prototype LB size and a fresh-upside profile
In the 2026 season, Cody Raymond is a redshirt sophomore linebacker at Ohio at 6-foot-4 and 230 pounds, a long-framed defender with intriguing growth potential after transferring from Wisconsin, where he did not play in 2025 and earned Academic All-Big Ten honors. His biggest differentiator is upside: he already has the body type to play downhill and match up in space, plus the multi-sport background and strong prep résumé that suggest athletic range and toughness. He looks like a developmental fit for a team that values length, intelligence, and special-teams potential.
